titleWhere are the Release Notes?

DSpace 5.x Release Notes have been incorporated into the DSpace 5.x documentation wiki. The content of that page, and this one, is similar, but it's not a perfect duplicate. This page is for coordinating and planning DSpace Release 5.0, and for communicating this status information to the community. This Release Status page is a historical document, with much of the same material.

New features in DSpace 5.0

Excerpt


DSpace 5.0 ships with a number of new features. Certain features are automatically enabled by default while others require deliberate activation. 
The following non-exhaustive list contains the major new features in 5.0
Image Modified

Easier Upgrading to 5.x from ANY previous DSpace version (1.x.x, 3.x or 4.x).

  • Your underlying DSpace database now upgrades itself automatically when you first run a newer version of DSpace (see DS-2167, by Tim Donohue with support/feedback from 5.0 Release Team). 
  • Solr/Lucene indexes now upgrade automatically during the "ant update" step of the Upgrade process (see DS-2297 by Tim Donohue, with support/feedback from Ivan Masár and 5.0 Release Team).

RDF Interface to support Linked (Open) Data (NEW)

  • DSpace can now provide its content as Linked (Open) Data via a new RDF interface (provided as an "rdf" webapp), see DS-2061 by Pascal -Nicolas Becker
Image Modified

OAI-PMH interface enhancements / bug fixes

  • OpenAIRE v3 compliance (operators over filters)
  • OAI respects item READ rights
  • /oai displays the list of available contexts; contexts have descriptions

See DS-1649 by João Melo 

Image Modified

Enhanced Thumbnail Quality (disabled by default)

See DS-2105 by Terry Brady with the support of Georgetown University

Image Modified

Bug fixes / improvements to Biblio-Transformation-Engine (BTE)

Kindly contributed by the Greek National Documentation Centre/EKT

Image Modified

Enhancements to DOI Support (disabled by default)

  • Enhanced EZID IdentifierProvider Metadata Mapping via XSLT, see DS-2119 by Mohamed Mohideen Abdul Rasheed
 


Image Modified

Apache Solr libraries were upgraded for all interfaces (JSPUI, XMLUI, and OAI)

See DS-2253 by Roeland Dillen with the support of @mire

Image Modified

Add a place for third-party JARs / plugins to be "found" by DSpace (disabled by default)

  • DSpace will now look for JARs / plugins in the locations specified by "plugin.classpath" value specified in dspace.cfg.

See DS-2107 by Mark H. Wood with the support of  IUPUI University Library

Image Modified

All objects now have metadata support

  • All DSpace objects (Communities, Collections, Items, EPeople, Groups) now have metadata, and most now use the default "dc" (Dublin Core) metadata schema.
    • NOTE: The only exception is EPeople metadata, which is stored in a new "eperson" metadata schema.
  • The User Interfaces don't yet take advantage of this enhancement in DSpace 5.0. Instead, this is an internal restructuring of data within DSpace. In the future, this provides the potential to create more enhanced metadata (or even more configurable metadata) on all objects

     Seems like we have 2 options:
    1. put Tomcat-specific code to JSPUI's web.xml
    2. just document this Tomcat 7-specific warning
      On DevMtg 2014-11-05 we decided to document for RC1 and decide before RC2
  •  Update the list of contributors on the Release Notes in Documentation (see "TBA" in text)
  •  Draft up announcement for mailing lists
  •  Update DSpace.org
